[urq] Suspension rebuild

[Brandon Rogers]

Hey guys-
The never-ending project continues...  The car has nice power now, but rides like a 1971 Caddy.  My Grandad has a huge 1971 2 door w/ 12,000 mi.  I've driven it.  I know.  In January I will be refreshing the suspension components that I have thus far ignored...I have already done all bushings F&R including tranny, control arms, subframe, and sway bar (no rear on car-bummer).  So as of right now I intend to install Bilstein HDs, and replace ball joints, front wheel bearings.  I'll keep my stock '84 springs. My question concerns tie-rod ends, tie rods, maybe ball joints, etc.

I no longer need the bent tie rod now that I have the 3B motor.  So I would like to replace that with a cheaper part that also allows toe adjustment, as opposed to the super expensive non-adjustable urq piece.  Any help is appreciated in guiding me towards the right part (or model cars) for my needs.  So I don't know which car has a tie-rod I can use, and then which tie-rod end would be applicable.  I also don't understand if this will affect which ball joints will be needed.  Please keep in mind I have the '84 suspension, which I understand has different availability etc than '83.  Any other recomendations appreciated....

TIA for all help
